Parse Globs with parsec

Refactor FieldGrammar / Described

Move Described functionality there, out of Cabal the library.
Similarly cabal-install doesn't contain Described instances,
they are only in tests.

Add more weeder roots

This makes type-signatures awful, but using _ one can infer them.
Parsing performance doesn't seem to be affected.

Also move Newtypes to Distribution.FieldGrammar.Newtypes as that is
more correct place.

Create Cabal-tree-diff package

Move Cabal instances from cabal-install TreeDiffInstances into it.
Remove defaultToExprViaShow to get better diffs and dumps

Also rename Cabal-QuickCheck (proper case), and add GenericArbitrary
module there.

Remove Text WorldPkgInfo

Use Pretty/Parsec in Init (remote Text Category instance)

Resolve #6589: Remove -any and -none syntax

The +/- prefix is now mandatory.

Remove text instances

Add weeder

Add Described PackageIdentifier and RelaxDeps

Remove Text RelaxDeps instances

Resolve #5570: Use PackageVersionConstraint more

Update documentation to reflect that `cabal init` is not interactive by default in 3.0

Since `cabal init` is no longer interactive by default
(as per my version, 3.0.0.0), including other minor
changes to the `init` process, change the `cabal init`
section to mention the usage of the `--interactive` flag,
and the new minor changes (which/the order questions
are asked, what the terminal output is).

I came across this problem while learning `cabal`
(having recently migrated from `stack`) and reading
this section of Cabal's quickstart guide.

To be proactive, add TIP relatively-linking to the
new getting started guide
(https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started.html)
in a TIP at the top of the page.  Implemented
because that is the best "entrypoint" to the docs,
but many resources/searches still point the user
to this page being modified.

Internal refactorings to install command.
